Hi Guys,

As our regular members will know, Lori's beloved dog, Jewel, was unwell possibly due to a venomous snake bite, and has since passed away. I will let Lori give you the details herself when she returns to us.

You may be aware that Lori works very hard to run an animal rescue centre in Virginia. Here is a link to her web-site:

If you look through her site you may notice there is a 'wish list' of things the centre needs. Perhaps, out of respect for Jewel and for Lori, and if any of our members live close enough, they might be able to help with this list. Or perhaps other members living further afield might want to offer a little help in some small way, to help Lori to continue with her sterling work.

I know that one of our membership has already shown great kindness to Lori, and I salute her for that.

I'm sure many of us understand what Lori is going through just now, as we may also have lost family pets, albeit in less tragic and dramatic circumstances.

Thanks guys.
